So I started a Google Map of places to buggy and/or ATB or skate...you get the idea. I made it open to anyone to add/edit places, I think all you need
is a Google account. I added the three places I have been, Alvord, Ivanpah and Sunset Beach. lets see if this works, add your buggy spots and include
some detailed information, links and video. http://goo.gl/maps/0WGmrSmeagol - 8-2-2013 at 09:28 PM
great idea!BeamerBob - 8-2-2013 at 10:55 PM
I added one on the west coast and all my old spots on the East Coast.MDK - 8-2-2013 at 11:11 PM
Thanks Bobby! this is going to work pretty good actually.BeamerBob - 8-2-2013 at 11:18 PM
Yes, it will be interesting to see the country fill in as people add in spots they've ridden.MDK - 9-2-2013 at 12:06 AM
I don't want to be stingy, feel free to add kiteboarding/surfing and snow kite/hardwater spots. you can change the color of the marker, lets make land
kiting red, water blue and snow/ice light blue in order to make it easier to find what you are looking for. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Bobby you been busy!jeepersjoey - 9-2-2013 at 07:19 AM
I find it very amusing that when you simply keep hitting the "+" button on the map it goes right to Northern Colorado.

Excellent..This map is exactly what i have been looking for thanks MDK.
Now can some post the procedure steps so i can add a few spots with out screwing up the map..MDK - 10-2-2013 at 10:31 AM
Your welcome!, to add a spot you will need a google account and make sure you are signed in, then go to the link http://goo.gl/maps/qvbmi and click on the interactive tutorial link at the upper left. no worries if you mess it up I will be monitoring the map and will be happy to fix any mistakes bigkid - 10-2-2013 at 10:50 AM

Good to hear, you may have bit off more than you can chew.
I have 14 places within 3 blocks of the park in Ellensburgs, WA. and have yet to get the stupid pin to stick on the park itself. I will try again
later when I have more time between playing FreeCell and Mahjong.MDK - 10-2-2013 at 11:37 AM
I just used the tutorial, it takes you through some unnecessary steps, so make sure you have a google account and are signed in, then go to the link http://goo.gl/maps/BlM7V and simply click on the EDIT button at the upper left, zoom to your spot, click on the little blue marker in the upper
left of the map and place it on your spot, then add a title and description in the appropriate box, click on the marker to change it to the proper
color if need (select rich text to use the link option). red for land, blue for water, and light blue for snow.Bladerunner - 10-2-2013 at 06:21 PM
Sweet .
I will look closer at this and add spots when I get home!MagillaG - 1-4-2014 at 12:58 PM
This is great!kiteballoon - 1-4-2014 at 09:26 PM
Added a few spots to fill in. A more complete map would be really nice honestly. You learn your local spots, but it's hard to know where the good
flying is when you travel unless you ask around first :-)rtz - 1-4-2014 at 10:29 PM
I got to thinking about this: I only ride at one place. Yet I know of 7 other places. I've ridden at five of them. People I know have at one of
the two I haven't; and the last place looks totally rideable; I just haven't tried it yet.
What about all those alternate buggy fields even though I nor no one else rides there?
One of them is abandoned vacant land with the owners address being in Texas. No fences; no signs; yet no official permission..(I haven't ridden
there) All the rest are parks.
I will be monitoring the map and will be happy to fix any mistakes
